Audrina Patridge issued a statement saying pictures were taken just after she graduated high school.

Some of the snaps feature Patridge completely topless, sporting a pink plaid schoolgirl skirt. Others depict the brunette nude in a bathtub, surrounded by candles, and there are several of her frolicking in an infinity pool.

According to Patridge, the pictures were taken soon after she graduated from high school. The aspiring model had done several bikini photo shoots, but decided to set her sights on Playboy.

"I took these photos years ago, when I was just out of high school and beginning to model," she said in her statement. "I was young and very trusting of others, and I didn't know to protect myself. It is a lesson learned, for myself, and hopefully for the young girls who look up to me." MTV.com
